Happy Father’s Day! (The Car Shirt)

Ahhhh, Father’s Day. The day I’m always reminded that I’m a crappy gift-giver. The day that I hope my husband walks away feeling loved and appreciated, and not depressed by my lack of effort.

So I wanted this year to be special. I searched and searched for the perfect gift, and I stumbled upon this tutorial that I thought was ABSOLUTELY adorable… a shirt with a little town with roads for the kids to “drive” on, so that the shirt-wearer gets a backrub while the kids play!

So, using the pattern provided and some sharpies, I created “Daddyville.” (I also created “Pop-popville” for my dad.)

The results were pretty cute. Both John and my dad had a good laugh at my expense. Will they be used? We’ll have to see.

In other news, I am so thankful for my husband and my father. I have been so blessed… both by a wonderful dad of my own and a wonderful father for my kids. Thanks guys. I love you both.
